@strangequark Option 4. Not sure who said it ends in a cliff hanger. It ends with the idea there is more story, but that is clearly going to be a (redacted for spoiler). Personally, I think Chapterhouse is better than Messiah and Children.
In the end, writing, music, painting, sculpting, food, whatever the art form, choose what you like. Anyone gatkeeping someone elses art is just an ass.
@retech OK now I have to do a #poll.
How much of the #Dune saga have you read? (Poll only allows 4 options so if you chose Option 5 or something else leave a comment).
| Option 1: The Sampler | |
| Option 2: Muad'Dib's Story | |
| Option 3: The Golden Path | |
| Option 4: I Love Frank Herbert |
@strangequark Why not just start and end when you feel like it? I'm just a random person typing on the net. There is no reason to care what any of us says. More importantly, our POVs have nothing to do with yours.
It's like asking people what their favourite food is and then letting that data tell you what to eat. Horrid to think it was something that you were allergic to.
@retech I was not asking for advice, just curious what other people think.
I read all the Dune books many years ago, most of them multiple times and some I have re-read recently.
When the prequels came out, I started them. The House Atriedes/Harkonnen/Corrino ones were OK, in a nostalgic pulp-fiction kind of way, but the Butlerian Jihad was a truly awful piece of fan-fic. I went as far as starting the Machine War but I just couldn't. I abandoned it and tried to unsee what I had read.
@strangequark Ah, cool.
I got 4 pages in to the first Brian book, put it back on the shelf and left the bookstore. Too much pulp.
